Warm-Up Instructions
This week’s warm-up explores modulations to closely related keys. A close relation is one that either shares a key signature, or does not differ by more than one sharp or flat. The first example in the warm-up is in a major key, and progresses through vi, IV, and V. The second example is in a minor key. It progresses through III (the relative major), iv, and V. At the asterisk, change your solfege to that of the new key.
Melodic Solos and Duets
In the last sight singing assignment, we studied melodies in major keys that modulated to the dominant. In this assignment, we will study melodies in minor keys that modulate to the relative major. Where asterixes are marked, change your solfege.
Playlist of Modulating Melodies
Please listen to the playlist in full. Try to pinpoint the moment at which the modulations take place. For extra enrichment, try writing down some of the melodies.
